Bio
Hi! I’m Amanda Purifoy, a certified special education teacher and school counselor with 17 years of experience in Texas and international schools in China, the UAE, and Taiwan. I have worked with students of all abilities, including those with ADHD, dyslexia, autism, and other learning differences, helping them build confidence and achieve academic success. As a parent of four children at Lone Star Online Academy (LSOA), I understand the importance of personalized learning. My experience in both special education and counseling allows me to create individualized strategies that support not only academic growth but also social-emotional development. When you book a session with me, you’re getting an experienced educator who truly understands how to meet students where they are and help them succeed. Whether your child needs extra support, motivation, or new learning strategies, I’m here to help.
Teacher Specialization
I specialize in comprehensive reading/writing instruction and expert college essay editing. I have an excellent track record in helping young students learn to read. With tailored curriculum, I employ targeted teaching strategies to bolster literacy skills, ensuring students develop a strong foundation in reading comprehension, writing fluency, and language proficiency. Additionally, I offer support to craft compelling college essays, drawing from my experience in undergraduate admissions.
